Thank Merlin for cell phones and the crazy Muggle technology he couldn't begin to understand that kept their messages flowing through the fall and winter months. Surely, things could have gone worse. Scorpius hadn't been kicked out of school; he was merely on probation, so he had to keep his head up and not get into a single ounce of trouble ever again. Mr. Potter had been very understanding, more than he had a right to be after what he'd seen, and the howler Scorpius got his from his parents about the probation only had him humiliated for a week or so.

All in all, things had worked out.

Even though he couldn't see James anymore, he could talk to him through texts and, brief, phone calls. It wasn't as frequent, but it would have to do.

By the time the holidays rolled around, Scorpius convinced his parents to let him stay with the Potters for the week leading up to New Year's. He spent about two hours trying to find the right clothes for his first visit with James in months and to make a good impression on Mr. Potter, although Al found it hilarious when he saw Scorpius on their front porch wearing a checked sweatervest and a button-up.

"Malfoy," James greeted a little gruffly, his hands in his pockets and eyes down. He was nervous beyond belief, vaguely excited, and oddly uncomfortable about being back at home for this again. The sweatervest and button-up combo had him biting back a smile of his own, though, and he shot a sideways look at Al before gesturing for Scorpius to step inside.

"We set up the office for you to sleep in. It's- well, it's actually pretty comfortable," he admits, but his hands flex in his pockets in a way that suggests that he is as far from comfortable as someone can get. He wants more than anything else to touch him, to grab him, but that's definitely not alright right then, right in front of everyone. So he behaves, even if it's killing him.
